Ripley cannot
be in Ridley Scott’sAlienprequel, but there may be another way
for Sigourney
Weaver to be involved. While promoting the Blu Ray release of the Aliensaga and Avatar, Weaver
gave her opinions on the Alien
prequel:

“Certainly not as an actor but if they
needed help with the story, I could probably help them,” Weaver said. “I have a
good sense of what people appreciate in the series and what they don’t care
about. So I hope they’ll ask me.”

“I think
it’s a tricky thing because you want to get a good young actress in there but
she should be very different from Ripley. But I would trust Ridley. I mean, he
found me. I think that it’s an important decision. As with all of these Alien
films it’s an ensemble film, so it’s very important who you pick for all the
parts I think.”

Weaver also discus’s Fox desire to make a PG-13 movie.

“I think
unfortunately, because movies have changed so much and gotten so much gorier,
that nowadays probably Alien would be PG-13 because there wasn’t much blood in
it. Except for the swearing, I don’t know. It’s tricky. That’s a good question.”
